Sept 6 2000

French Truck drivers protesting over the price of Fuel, have been joined by Fork lift operators, driving schools and removal men. The truckers want the french government to cut fuel prices by 20%  and have blockaded roads to oil depots and refineries since the 2 of sept.  More than half the fuel stations in france had run dry and those still open were rationing customers. The action has succesfully brought france to a virtual standstill and has forced  the French Transport minister into talks with Union representatives.
